Floobler		190kg Squat & 205kg Fail	09-03-2016 @ 17:54
Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265 665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq	Was looking at some squat videos from a novice comp I did a couple weeks back and figured why not upload them? Was dissapointed to miss 205kg and a little surprised tbh, given how training had been going and how 190kg moved. Think if this hadn't been the third event of the day I'd have smashed it, gonna hit some big squats in the gym this year sorry bout the view not being the best :/

Thanks man, youre right i think 195-200 was probably my limit for the day. Conditions werent the best for a big squat tbh, think my limit is a bit higher in the gym. Plan to triple 190 in the next few weeks

Tried them a few times and just can get to grips with 'em Been doing a lot of pause squats since this comp, that's surely got to help?

Just love goodmornings myself..and i did my 240 squat whilst upto 160 on the good mornings. Scooped me out of the hole...and i could deadlift flat backed back then as well. goodmornings are like being tied up and whipped with nettles...not for most people mate! actually, a pretty rubbish analergy that

Can't say it would hurt to train some but he squats too upright for them to make a huge magnitude of difference. I reckon front squats have the potential to be beneficial in this case but it seemed to be more an overall lack of strength to take on 205 than a specific weak point. Pause squats are a must in my book. Could also squat with band/chain resistance to help teach drive through the sticking point but wouldn't call them a necessity.

Enjoyable position actually. Im betting fobber is a tall bloke. Band/ chains are a good call. BaconWarrior said: Got to disagree here, Danny.

Guy before me squatted 200kg so was trying to take first place. As it happens it wouldn't have mattered anyway, he hit 210kg on his final attemp (cheating bas***d used wraps though ). Plus probably let the ego get in the way a bit, before the comp I was sure I'd squat 200-210 easily but it just wasn't there on the day. Another vid from the comp, 80kg log for reps And training vid, 100kg log for a triple
